I am currently working, practicing civil engineering for 1 year plus. I'm thinking of to pursue to Master's degree in Structure but if possible part time on weekends. The only one I know is under UTM SPACE (School of Professional And Continuing Education), which I heard from a friend previously early this year, but I've checked through the website, there is no Master's degree offered under SPACE program.

Anyone can help me with this ?

Found this line while I am searching the net for information about engineering.

"Mechanical engineers build missles, Civil engineers build targets."

I LOL-ed  biggrin.gif
P.S. This is just a JOKE. No offence meant for civil engineers out here smile.gif

Civil engineers build a place for mechanical engineers to build missiles biggrin.gif

Where do you work? If somewhere near KL and Selangor then can try to apply for UPM? There got the lecture type which the class are normally evening/night weekdays.

Sorry but the sad news is that all type of engineer need to have maths and the standard of maths start from your form6 standard(slightly higher than it for 1st year) and i dono how high will only it stop wink.gif (i am still first year so cant give you opinion beyond first year). BTW, i heard some sort of good news from many seniors and some lecturers that the truth is you will only apply less than 50% of what you learnt when you work... doh.gif

I would prefer classes on Friday night and/or weekends. Night time during weekdays seems to be very tiring, rushing and you know KL/Selangor traffic how. Anyway, what you learn is a very basic knowledge to be applied into work. As long you be able to understand the basic idea or concept, it's good enough.

Also I want to ask, I understand that my cert is not recognized under ECUK thus not recognized BEM (what a bummer, I just knew this in my final year, so quitting is not an option). If I do apply as Graduate Engineer under BEM/IEM, it will be rejected but IEM will offer as Incorporated Member, which is not good enough for me to chase out PE title. Another option is to pursue Master in engineering courses recognized by BEM. Upon graduation, will I be able to just register like that, or will they be like if they are not satisfy, they still require me to sit for their Part II/III exam ?

Not clear but why dont you go to IEM website to look for details? I remember saw a chart that show us the path to be a PE next time and it is from IEM itself. I just remember the part where if not recognized, need to take xxxxxx and so on test or class(lol really blur so you better go verify it yourself).

Yes I already have. Recognized degree directly go to graduate registration. Unrecognized degree has one step to be completed, it is either to pursue recognized coursework Masters program in engineering, or to sit for the exam. The details still quite blurry for me too, so I need to clarify from them whether if I pursue to Masters program in xxxxxx, is it recognized and be able to pass graduate registration step or not, because in BEM website, they only list down Bachelor programs.
